AL's Story

Always the enthusiastic art student as a youngster, Alan turned his love of creating art into a career, becoming a Signwriter by trade with Honourable Mention… since 1987.​

​

A global shift toward digital printing technology in the 90’s steered Alan toward diversifying his skills to gain a second trade in the Painting and Decorating field, which saw him specialise in hand painted decorative finishes such as delicate marbling, woodgraining and gilding.

​

A recent artisan uprise has welcomed a reprisal of the traditional techniques of makers, and reignited Alan’s passion for his craft… welcome the ‘brush strokes revival’. Dedicated to keeping the artistry alive and appreciated, Alan continues to refine his skills which is represented in his custom works.

​

Born in the UK and raised in Victoria, Alan now lives on a peaceful property in NW Tasmania where the picturesque landscape along with his love of music, inspire his creativity.
